Kees Cook 4338831b83 coredump: Do not lock during 'comm' reporting ...

[ Upstream commit 200f091c95 ]

The 'comm' member will always be NUL terminated, and this is not
fast-path, so we can just perform a direct memcpy during a coredump
instead of potentially deadlocking while holding the task struct lock.
